Budweiser, others lead Premier League sponsors

The English Premier League is set to kick off its 2022/23 season with Budweiser headlining the competition as the Official Beer Sponsor in a global multi-year sponsorship.

The Premier League season will begin this Friday 5th August 2022 when Crystal Palace hosts Arsenal and will end on Sunday May 28, 2023. The game starts about a week earlier than initially slated due to the 2022 World Cup which takes place in November and December in Qatar.

The Premier League will take more than a month off for the World Cup starting in mid-November, and resume on December 26 after the World Cup final.

Earlier, The Premier League and Budweiser had announced the continuation of their “exciting” partnership.

Commenting on the partnership, the AB InBev beer brand had said: “As a brand that celebrates and supports the pursuit of dreams, Budweiser has nothing but admiration for football fans, who spend a lifetime in pursuit of glory, no matter what. And because of that, it proudly sponsors the Premier League. Budweiser’s mission is to recognize and reward the contribution fans make to football. To inspire them to never stop dreaming. Because when fans find the fortitude to keep dreaming, it gives the players and the world something bigger to play for.”

The 2022–23 Premier League will be the 31st season of the Premier League, and the 124th season of top-flight English football overall.
